=============== * What is Orca? =============== Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office via continued engagement with its end users and generous contributions from wonderful community members.

Now if you enable the app-specific setting to speak chatroom name, it will only speak it when the message is not in your current room. * Work on bug 472377 - Need to fix braille for radio buttons and checkboxes in HTML content. There are two issues: 1) repetition of labels with radio buttons and 2) The label and name of radio buttons and checkboxes needs to be reversed. 1) is easy and now done. 2) will take some thought and will likely wait until after GNOME 2.20. * Fix for bug 472407 - Orca doesn't always announce new messages in unfocused tabs in Pidgin. Gecko: * Fix for bug 469686 - Sanity check needed in gecko.getHeadingLevel. * One more "check" related to the fix for bug 470332 - Can no longer arrow to push buttons in FF3. The original fix exposed a Mozilla bug which was causing Orca to hang when it encountered (un)ordered lists. See bug 470853. This update should prevent the hang while we're waiting for the fix. * Fix for bug 471537 - We need to find a way to identify truly "focusable" elements in FF3. * Fix for bug 471955 - Orca does not provide access to state changes in HTML radio buttons in FF3. * Work on bug 472029 - Cannot arrow into autocompletes in HTML forms if Orca is controlling the caret. There's an outstanding bug in Firefox that can cause some odd behavior with autocompletes. Monitor bug 472029 to track it.
